Why private bridging finance may suit vacant land.

Vacant land can be harder to fund through standard lenders where there is no dwelling, income is complex, zoning is specialised, the land is held for development or timing is urgent. Private lenders can assess some vacant land scenarios differently, subject to land value, location, LVR and exit strategy.

Common vacant land finance needs

  • Settle vacant land purchase quickly
  • Hold land while awaiting sale or DA approval
  • Refinance existing vacant land debt
  • Bridge before development finance is ready
  • Bank policy does not fit the land scenario
  • Exit depends on sale, refinance or development finance

Private lenders focus more on:

  • Land value and location
  • Loan-to-value ratio
  • Zoning and intended use
  • Borrower structure and purpose of funds
  • Clear sale, refinance or development exit
  • Short-term bridging structure
